The coat of the Havamalt tends to be hypo-allergenic, which can be good for individuals who are prone to allergies and may find it difficult to live with other dogs. The Havamalt also has a double coat with a topcoat that is silky. The undercoat tends to be coarser. The color of the Havamalt will vary depending upon the parentage of the dog. The size of the Havamalt will also depend upon the parentage of the dog as well.
The Havamalt is a designer or hybrid breed of dog that is a cross mix between Havanese and the Maltese. While this dog may be the result of purebred parents from both breeds, the Havamalt is not able to be registered with purebred registries. Like most hybrid dogs, the Havamalt may be a first generation or a second generation. First generation Havamalt dogs are produced by breeding purebred Maltese dogs and purebred Havanese dogs. Second generation dogs are produced by breeding Havamalts.
Prospective owners should be aware that as is the case with many hybrids, the Havamalt may take more after one breed than the other. Havamalts were originally produced in order to bring out the best characteristics of both breeds.
add infoThe Havamalt is known for being a very sweet and loving dog. This is also a dog that is quite lovely and loves to play and be with its family. It is very much a family oriented dog that does not do well when separated for long periods of time. This is not a dog that can be left alone. The Havamalt is also quite curious and intelligent. Havamalt dogs tend to do quite well with training and will pick up commands easily. For the most part, the Havamalt is docile and gentle. They are also responsive, especially when trained early on. They thrive upon pleasing their masters and receiving praise. While the Havamalt is tolerant of kids, they do require socialization. This is very important if the dog is going to live in a family with children.
add infoThe Havamalt tends to be of good health and does not suffer from a lot of serious health conditions. Like most dogs, the Havamalt may have problems with hip dysplasia and if prospective owners are concerned about this they should investigate the parentage of the dog to determine whether this may be a likely problem with their puppy.
add infoThe Havamalt is of United States origin and like many designer or hybrid breeds they have become quite popular in the last few years. One of the reasons that this dog has become so popular is the fact that it has such a beautiful coat and is known to be sweet and docile while also maintaining a playful nature. The fact that the coat of the Havamalt is hypo-allergenic has also led to its rise in popularity in the last few years.
add infoThe Havamalt has a coat that will need to be brushed on a regular basis in order for it to maintain its beautiful condition as well as health. In addition, the Havamalt will need to be bathed and shampooed when necessary in order to keep the coat looking clean and shiny. Prospective owners should be aware that this is considered to be a somewhat high maintenance dog due to the fact that the coat will need to be combed on such a regular basis. In addition, this dog will need to be provided with some type of daily playtime or exercise. Havamalts love to be with their families, so a walk or even playtime will suffice for daily exercise.
add infoThe ideal environment for the Havamalt will be one in which the family will be dedicated to providing love and affection as well as required maintenance for the dog. The owner should also be dedicated to providing socialization, especially if there will be children around the dog, along with training in order to achieve the best results with this dog. This is not a dog that will show overt aggression to children and other animals, but socialization and training will ensure that the dog is happy and content. Due to the fact that this is such a gentle and docile dog, a gentle and soft approach is recommended with the Havamalt. This is not a dog that does well with treatment that is not gentle. They want to please their owners and will thrive upon praise. This is a companion dog that will also do best when living inside, not only because it craves human companionship but also because living outside may make it more difficult for the coat to be groomed and maintained properly. The owner should also be prepared to provide opportunity for play and/or exercise for this dog.

We have a Havamalt who had a lot of trouble with her anal glands. She also had very sensitive and itchy skin. We began feeding her Royal Canin Canine Veterinary (Clinical) Diets Hypoallergenic Dog Food, the meat and biscuits and both of the problems cleared up completely. We wish we’d tried a special diet of hypoallergenic food sooner as we visited the Vet many times in her early months. She is now 2 years and 4 months old and (touch wood) never unwell and very happy. We are getting a Maltipoo soon and will be feeding her the same diet to avoid any of the problems we’ve had in the past. |

Pressy is a very social dog and is quiet gentle and protective of young children and babies. She loves meeting new people and is truly the life of the party.
